  • 114. Devil Says You’re Unloved; God Says 'Lie' with Nancy Bruscher
    Dec 7 2025

    We trace how a hidden lie—“I am not loved”—can take root even when life is full of love, and how God gently replaces it with truth. Through journaling, Scripture, breath, and a picture of a Father’s heart, we move from head knowledge to heart knowledge.

    • naming I am statements that wound
    • pairing each lie with a clear biblical truth
    • using Scripture to anchor identity
    • breathing practices to embody truth
    • recognizing how focus distorts love
    • moving truth from mind to heart
    • Advent as a call to slow down
    • asking God for wisdom with expectancy

    “Let me end with this beautiful, simple children’s song sung by my daughter Rachel: Yes, Jesus loves me... The Bible tells me so.”
